I have Google Voice set up to prompt me (whether to dial using GV) every time I make a call (in GV app Settings -> Making calls -> Ask every time I make a call.)

When I dial via the Phone app, or via "Direct dial" home screen shortcut, the "Google Voice" prompt appears instantaneously. However, if I add a "Contact" shortcut to my home screen, tap it and select any number to dial, the same prompt takes over 5 seconds to pop up. The logs are showing no other activity during this time:

I/ActivityManager(  223): START {act=android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED dat=tel:xx-xxx-xxx-xxxx flg=0x14000000 cmp=com.android.phone/.PrivilegedOutgoingCallBroadcaster} from pid 2814

Specifically, the line I/ActivityManager( 223): Displayed com.google.android.apps.googlevoice/.CallConnectingActivity:+5s11ms(total +5s302ms) shows the actual "lag" time.

I cannot see anything different than if I try dialing out from a "Direct Dial" type of a shortcut:

I am running CM9 alpha (ICS: Android 4.0.3) on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone, but the same thing was happening on my Atrix 4G running stock Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4) and CM7 (Android 2.3.5.) This makes me think that this is not a general Android issue, but rather a bug in Google Voice app.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Other than posting on GV feedback forums, how do I go about resolving this?

  • I went ahead and posted on Google's GV forums as well: groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/… Hopefully someone "official" will chime in.

  • This has been resolved in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Still no idea what's causing it on earlier OS versions.

This has been resolved in Android 4.1, a.k.a. "Jelly Bean". Now Google Voice prompt appears instantly no matter how it's triggered. Since the Google Voice app has not changed, my original thinking that it's the app's fault was incorrect.

Still no idea what's causing it on earlier OS versions.
